Instead, it’s likely dispersed among leaders at all levels. And it’s often overlooked. By learning how to identify and cultivate learning agility, your organization can create more confident leaders who are ready for the future, who are able to proactively identify business opportunities, and who can quickly respond to unexpected challenges.  \nThis white paper offers CCL’s perspective on 3 of the most fundamental and frequent questions about learning agility:  \n• What is learning agility, and who possesses it?  \n• How do I identify learning agility in my organization’s leaders?  \n• How do I develop learning agility in myself and my organization’s leaders?  \nImportantly, we’ll outline the difference between high potentials and high professionals, 2 classes of highly coveted employees that organizations often conflate. By properly identifying the distinctions between these groups of talented employees, your organization can maximize its workforce, putting people in the right roles, and helping you better design and implement a leadership strategy.  \n©2019 Center for Creative Leadership.

That probably captures its essence better than any formal definition, but to put learning agility in more specific terms, it involves the practice of 4 specific and interrelated sets of behaviors that allow people to learn deeply from their experiences and then apply the lessons they’ve learned when faced with new and challenging circumstances.  \n4 COMPONENTS OF  \nLEARNING AGILITY   \n1. SEEKING 2. SENSEMAKING 3. INTERNALIZING 4. APPLYING  \nFor learning agile individuals, their practice of these behaviors ~~i~~s often an “unconscious competence”—they merely “do what they do” when faced with new challenges and are more likely to identify as “lifelong learners” or “works in progress” rather than “learning agile.” Likewise, in the eyes of others, learning agile people are often characterized as “quick studies” or for having a “knack” for coming up with new solutions. Because of their penchant for succeeding in circumstances that are unfamiliar for both them and their organizations, individuals who are learning agile are often seen as also having high potential.  \n2 ©2019 Center for Creative Leadership. All rights reserved.  \nLet’s dive deeper into the 4 sets of behaviors:  \n• Seeking: Developing learning agility requires an intentional willingness to immerse yourself in new and challenging situations that broaden and expand your experiences. Learning agile individuals see these situations as prime opportunities for new learning and growth. Furthermore, these are seen as opportunities to seek out and embrace, not just to accept.  \n• Sensemaking: Learning from experience is a highly active and ongoing process marked by curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Asking “Why?”“How?”and “Why not?” are essential to gaining the insight and perspective that fuels learning. Failed experiments, and the setbacks and criticism that accompany them, are just a part of the ongoing journey for learning agile individuals.  \n• Internalizing: Learning d","cbCaisL8A15iRs8B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisL8A15iRs8B","pdf",659741,16,"English","# Executive Summary\n# What’s Learning Agility?\n## 4 Components of Learning Agility\n# Who is Learning Agile?
